Marvin Composites

*My employment dates are inaccurate on purpose*
Marvin Composites, the place where dreams go to die. Very toxic environment, and people backstab each other to get ahead. To each their own. If you are not "staff" then you are essentially looked down upon. HR was rarely available, and many "managers" leave early, or work from home for an oil change on their truck. Extreme favoritism on behalf of the production manager.

Much more to say, but I'll just say, your happiness is worth more than their wage. Going here will cause your happiness to diminish. 

The schedule posted isn't horrible, but you will work mandatory OT for about 8+ months of the year.

Attendance schedule can be lenient, but don't get sick or else you'll get points and write ups. 

Tecton Fargo is a great place to work. It's more than just a job, it's a career to call home. This company truly does care about their employees and that is from every aspect possible. The training program is amazing, the ongoing opportunities that allow you to grow as an individual is far beyond anything I have seen and I have worked at a few larger fortune 500 companies and they dont come close to Tecton and the Values that they hold dear to. 

Every team member here is helpful, and proactively so. The management team really looks for ways to open up a person's skill set and really take time to get to know you as people, as a team. 

This company is solid. I am glad I am a part of this team. Truly will be my lasting career. Everyone in Fargo here is a solid developed team. Most team members have been here 7+years and actually most more like 10+  Great all around.

What is the best part of working at the company?
None, except for decent pay it was a real downer of experience. Management is awful, they got the wrong people in the wrong roles along with poor training.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of the jobs happens right after you clock in and stays that way till you clock out.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Slow, with alot of finger pointing and blaming for mistakes, and with inadequate management it's horrible.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As I said, you clock in and the management gives you directions with no sense of leadership.  It's always a blaming game for bad product and that place is only worried about the metrics numbers, when numbers are low its a shout out, but no plan to resolve or resolution

The place has its problems. But overall I enjoy the people I work with. There's some idiots here but also people more then willing to help you learn if you show a willingness. Same people will watch you crash and burn if you come in with an "I'm better than you" attitude. Pay isnt bad, benefits could be improved definitely. Like any other place, if you keep your nose clean, do your job, show up on time, and not have a snoty attitude then you'd be fine here. Inspector end is extremely boring. Operator end has its moments of being interesting. But if your lazy, lie, show up late and call out, for the love of God dont wonder why you got fired.

Start off with your morning meetings. Told what line to go to. Pass off from last shift. Get itchy and stabbed with fiberglass. You will be micromanaged depending on what color shift you get. Not a pleasant place to work. Schedule and pay/benefits are good. Management not so much. You get reviews and if you aren't where they expect you to be, they basically tell you you suck and need to do better. You are required to move up 3 levels for operator. Got to get certain percentage to move up which seems impossible because lines run awful. I'd stay away from this joke of a place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Room for advancement if you want it. Pay is very good with the nights and weekend extra. You get ever other weekend off. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having everyone one the same page, which ends up getting told several different ways how to do something. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some shifts are very stressful other's not at all.

I have had only a few complaints with this company, but then again you will always find something you wished was different at any place you work. As a company they have really took care of me so I have no complaints, work is easy and benefits not bad at all.

Things at tecton weren't bad. Although I wouldnt call it good. The pay was fine. The benefits were pretty great. Depending on the shift though it could be hard to 'get in' with the people because if you're working at tecton either you've been there for many years or you're really only there for a few months before you quit and find someplace else

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing but the work schedule 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micromanagement  , Treating employees like a babies,  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Treating employees like machines 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing the same thing all over for 12h a shift

Management will make you feel dumber than a box of rocks. They use federal guidelines as a basis for policies - medical absences aren't excused (strep throat, flu, etc.) unless it meets the requirement of FMLA, for instance. 

Equipment is beyond faulty; bandaids being used as treatments for amputations, type of situations.
